Summary
The board authorized staff to revise the countys water-and-sewer standard specifications (last noted in packet as dating to 2000) so the county can provide modern, state-approved specifications to contractors and remain compliant with five-year renewal requirements.
Trousdale County staff told the board the countys water-and-sewer standard specifications must be renewed every five years and that the operative packet included standards last recorded in 2000. Staff recommended updating pressure ratings, meter lists, materials and other technical requirements to align with current state expectations and to give contractors a consistent packet of requirements.
Board members authorized staff to proceed with revisions and to consult operations and contract staff on details; the motion to begin work on revised specifications carried by voice vote. Staff later said they would coordinate with relevant staff (including Tony and Tommy referenced in the discussion) to gather the technical lists and return a revised packet for board approval.
